Re: Case Red, Robert Forzcyk

Hi, Ljadw, Shirer seem to be very famous, both books have many time publication and in different languages, I endorse what you said, both books are not good and very boring for me.

Re: 104. Jäger-Division StuG and halftracks

I'm afraid Nafziger is again incorrect in some points: On 6.8.1943 OKH/GenStdH/Org.Abt. authorized 1 Pz.Aufkl.Zug with 5 Pzkpfw. II and 1 Pz.Aufkl.Zug with 5 le.SPW each for the 100., 104., 114., 117. and 118. Jäger-Div.. These platoons were not part of the divisional Aufkl.Abt. but were directly s...

Re: 3rd PG and 2nd Pz Division 's armored vehicle stock

Danny Parker book the battle of Bulge mentions 3. PG had 20 StuG for war only, Is really so small number of AFV that German high command still sent her to offensive ? Anyone had further data on that ?
